STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Grace Filipazzo, 92, of Todt Hill, a homemaker who enjoyed crocheting and spending time with family, died Monday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze.

Born in Manhattan, she was brought to Brooklyn as a child and moved to Todt Hill at age 55.

She graduated from Tilden High School in Brooklyn and became a seamstress at Bali Bras in Manhattan. She retired in the 1950s, and spent the rest of her life as a homemaker.

Mrs. Filipazzo enjoyed baby-sitting her grandchildren and crocheting and knitting clothes for them. Her specialty was making hats, sweaters, dresses and booties for babies. However, she would also make items for anyone who asked.
